That may (in absence of "hardware RAID") be simply to fix: Disable PXE boot. For some reason lost in the mists of time[*], that's always enabled by default and it has a fairly long timeout (easily longer than all of the remaining boot process). [*] I used that for setting up a diskless NetBSD system (supposed to be used by many 'small computers') in 2001 or 2002 but haven't ever encountered it since. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
